Mexicans actually helped to put out the SoCal fires FWI!!!
FWI?
If you'd read what I wrote, you would realize that I didn't say anything about the actual procedure of fighting fires nor did I comment about the manner in which people from the Katrina disaster were or were not rescued.
What I said was that Mexico did not open its cities and towns to embrace refugees from any U.S. disaster. While I am all for offering aid to those who have suffered in this most recent natural disaster, I don't believe that includes taking in the refugees. Let their own people take care of them as many of us, myself included, have worked to take care of ours.
Location: The world, where will fate take me this time?

True, my home (Mexico city) was reduced to a pile of rubble in 1985 because of a nasty earthquake, and if it hadn't been for the help of the United States a lot of people that was under that pile of rubble would have died

Sorry, I meant FYI. And sorry for the misunderstanding. And I think you know quite well why Mexico didn't take them in. Why would they help foreigners if they can't even help themselves?

Mexico's becoming a better country everyday of course we can help ourselves!
Oh no doubt it has changed. Just at a very slow pace. Corrupt authority figures are still out and about.
